Misc. Notes
Joseph married Mehitable Hatch of Falmouth, and the Falmouth town
records show the birth to them of three children in that town, between
the years 1743-1747, viz: Nathan, Stephen and Alpheus.
Among the papers in the possession of a descendant, Mr. Edward True
Wing, of South Portland, Maine, is a deed executed April 21, 1750, by
Nathaniel Wing. The deed designated the grantee as "Joseph Wing of
Sandwich in the County of Barnstable, my son, laborer." The
consideration is £250. It conveys "one moiety or half part of all my
lands, Swamps & Swampy ground buildings and housings & salt march in
the town of Sandwich." The deed is acknowledged by Silas Bourn,
justice of the peace, and is witnessed by Nathaniel Wing, Jr. and
Ebenezer Wing, Sr[CI:1591:?4:CI].
About the year 1789, he seems to have been living upon the lands of
his son Obed in Pocasset. Joseph survived as late as March 13, 1796.
There is preserved a leaf taken from a book upon which is inscribed:
"Alpheus Wing. This Book given to him by his grandfather Joseph Wing
of Sandwhich the 13th of March 1796."[CI:1592:?4:CI]
